UX London: Designing Our Way Through Data

Jeff Veen’s Designing Our Way Through Data presentation at UX London 2009 described how a combination of information visualization techniques, individual participation, and passion can help create the future of the Web.

There’s a growing amount of participation in media instead of just consumption.

Now have sophisticated tools for participation coupled with high scale of data.
